Antibiotics for angina are used to reduce the symptoms of the disease, prevent complications (paratonzillitis, rheumatic fever), a speedy recovery.
Angina is an acute infectious disease that affects mainly the palatine tonsils. The causative agent of the disease usually is streptococcus. Especially often, angina occurs in children, adolescents, young people. The cause of angina development is severe hypothermia, as well as chronic inflammation of the tonsils (tonsillitis). Ill with angina should have a separate dish, avoid close contact with other people (children).
Angina can be not only an independent disease, but also one of the symptoms of common infectious diseases - diphtheria, scarlet fever, or manifestation of a blood disease (leukemia). Therefore, with the first symptoms of the disease you need to seek medical advice to exclude the development of more serious diseases.
In the treatment of the disease, the use of antibiotics, antipyretics, vitamins, immunostimulants plays an important role.
Antibiotics are prescribed with the available plaque on the tonsils, tenderness of the cervical lymph nodes, high temperature, absence of cough. If there are at least three previous signs, antibiotics are prescribed without microbiological examinations, if there is one or two signs, antibiotics are prescribed only if the results of the survey are positive.
Do you need antibiotics for angina?
Angina is a bacterial disease, which is why it proceeds in such severe form. With this disease, the main timely treatment, as this, first of all, will help ease the patient's condition, secondly, prevent possible serious complications; third, accelerate the recovery process.
You can use antibiotics both general and local. Treatment of angina only locally can aggravate the course of the disease, in addition, a small concentration of the drug causes rapid addiction of bacteria, which will make further treatment more difficult.
If we talk about whether antibiotics are necessary for angina, then there can not be an alternative in treatment. Streptococcal infections that are not treated with antibiotics can cause serious complications in the heart, rheumatism, extremely high temperature. Therefore, the use of antibiotics is mandatory, especially with such a serious illness as angina.

What should I drink antibiotics with angina?
The angina-causing streptococcal bacteria are more sensitive to penicillin, which is why the doctor often recommends these drugs.
Amoxicillin is a preparation of the penicillin group. The advantage of the drug is that it is available in various forms: tablets, syrups, capsules. Especially it is convenient for the treatment of small children, which sometimes it is quite difficult to inject or persuade to take a pill.
Amoxiclav is a form of amoxicillin with a content of clavulanic acid, which enhances the effect of the drug.
In cases where there is intolerance to penicillin (allergy) or bacteria are insensitive to penicillin, antibiotics of the macrolide group are usually prescribed. Antibiotics of this group have high efficiency, low toxicity, destroys a larger number of microorganisms. The first drug of this group is erythromycin, but now more known are the drugs sumamed, zitrolide, chemomycin, which are analogues of erythromycin.
Titles
If there is no allergy to penicillin, then it is best to use drugs of this particular group, since they are less harmful to the body. Amoxiclav, Amoxicillin show good results.
Amoxiclav is the most effective drug, as it is a new generation antibiotic. However, in some cases it happens that penicillin can not be used (the causative agent of the sore throat is resistant to the substance, allergic to penicillin, etc.), therefore other broad-spectrum antibiotics are used: clacid, lendacin, sumamed, cephalexin, siflox, erythromycin, cefazolin.
If you do not start antibiotic treatment for angina, it can threaten with serious complications (otitis, glomerulonephritis, sinusitis).
Antibiotics for angina significantly improve the patient's condition in the first hours after admission. At a very high temperature, you also need to take antipyretic, analgesic, which will help relieve headaches, weakness, etc. It is not recommended to lower the temperature below 38 degrees, because at this time the body intensively produces antibodies to fight the disease.
Penicillin series
Penicillins are one of the earliest antibiotics people have started using. In modern times, some penicillin preparations have already lost their effectiveness due to the resistant bacteria, but the important advantages that favorably isolate them among other antibiotics encourage experts to invent new drugs based on penicillin.
The merits of these antibiotics include their small harm to the body, a wide spectrum of action, high antibacterial activity. Adverse reactions from penicillin occur much less frequently than when treated with other antibiotic drugs. Usually, adverse reactions are manifested in the form of allergies, intestinal microflora disorders, and sometimes inflammation occurs at the site of administration. Penicillin can not be used by people with a tendency to various allergic reactions, with bronchial asthma.
Most penicillin group drugs are used only as injections, because the acidic environment of the stomach greatly destroys them, and they lose their effectiveness, especially for biosynthetic drugs (produced by biosynthesis). The only exception is phenoxypenicillin, which is resistant to an acidic environment and can be taken orally.
Penicillin preparations with caution should be combined with other drugs, it is contraindicated to take them simultaneously with certain antibiotics. Basically, penicillins are prescribed for the treatment of diseases caused by gram-positive bacteria (staphylococci, streptococci, pneumococci).
Amoxicillin
Throat diseases caused by bacteria can occur against the background of viral infections either alone, which can lead to severe manifestations of angina.
Often, amoxicillin is used for bacterial infections of the throat and angina, this drug is a widely used antibiotic.
The antibiotic is effective against a large number of bacteria that provoke angina. Medics prescribe amoxicillin as a first-line drug, because it is quite effective and has few side effects.
Among the adverse reactions that can occur when taking amoxicillin, there is vomiting, diarrhea, upset stomach. The most severe reactions to the drug are leukopenia, pseudomembranous colitis, agranulocytosis, anaphylactic shock.
Sumamed
Sumamed is a fairly strong antibiotic with a wide spectrum of action and, moreover, this drug is from new developments that are more effective against bacteria, in comparison with the more "old" versions of antibiotics.
Produced in the form of tablets, suspensions, injections. To take sumamed with angina is necessary only once a day, which is quite convenient.
But sumamed has a number of contraindications. Some components of the drug can cause quite severe allergic reactions. When taking the drug, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea may occur, but such reactions are quite rare.
The course of treatment with sumamed usually does not exceed 5 days, for children the dosage of the drug is determined from the calculation of 10 ml of syrup per 1 kg of weight. This dose is calculated for three days, after which the dosage is doubled. Take an antibiotic one hour before a meal or 2 to 3 hours after a meal. Children under 16 years of age are not prescribed a drug in the form of injections.
When treating children, it is important to take along with sumamed pribiotiki, which will help preserve the intestinal microflora.
The drug is effective not only with infection of the throat, but also with pneumonia, bronchitis, skin diseases, diseases of the genitourinary system, peritonitis.
Before prescribing the drug, the doctor should make a smear on the microflora and the susceptibility of the bacteria to the drug.
Amoxiclav
Amoxiclav in its antimicrobial action is a unique drug. It is widely used for the treatment of infectious diseases, especially in childhood, starting from three months.
A drug is prescribed, if there are no allergic reactions to antibiotics of the penicillin series, the course of treatment is prescribed by the doctor, individually in each case. The dosage of the antibiotic depends on the age and weight of the child. When taking amoksiklava quickly comes relief: the throat ceases to hurt, the general condition improves.
Its effective properties are due to two active substances in its composition (clavulanic acid and amoxicillin), which is why the amoxiclave copes better than other drugs.
Flemoxin
Flemoxin effectively fights the inflammatory process and destroys the infection. Quite often, Flemoxin is used alone, without the appointment of a doctor.
Flemoxin is antibacterial drugs that can be taken to children of all ages, as well as adults. Also, the drug can be administered during pregnancy.
Flemoxin refers to antibiotics of a wide spectrum of action, effectively destroys the pathogenic microflora, acts both against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. After taking the drug after two hours, the maximum concentration in the blood is observed. Flemoxin is not susceptible to the acidic environment of the stomach, is excreted from the body by the kidneys after about 8 to 10 hours, in children up to the year the withdrawal of the substance occurs twice as fast.
Produced in the form of tablets, suspensions. When taking Flemoxin, you must strictly observe the reception hours - the drug must be taken either an hour before meals, or a couple of hours after eating. If the disease occurs in mild or moderate severity, then treatment lasts about a week, heavier conditions require the drug to take about 10-14 days. The course of treatment can not be interrupted, even if you felt a significant relief on the 3rd-4th day of treatment. Completely destroy the infection in the body is difficult, it takes time.
The drug is not used at high sensitivity to the components, with kidney disease, liver, as well as infections that are accompanied by inflammation of the lymph nodes.
[16],
Flemoxin solute
Properly selected drug allows you to quickly alleviate the condition of the patient and completely destroy the infection in the body.
For the treatment of angina, a semisynthetic antibiotic of the penicillin series is widely used, which has a bactericidal effect. Flemoxin saluteb effectively fights against staphylococci, which lead to the development of angina. The active substance of the drug is amoxicillin. Used flemoksin salutab as in angina, and with other infectious and inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system, genitourinary system, skin, which are caused by sensitive to the drug microorganisms.
Flemoxin saluteb has a good acid resistance, the dosage of the drug is prescribed by the doctor individually, based on the severity of the disease. Usually, for light and medium weight illnesses, the course of treatment lasts 5-10 days, in more severe cases 10-14 days. The drug should be taken even after the disappearance of severe manifestations of the disease (temperature, pain in the throat), otherwise the microorganisms will quickly develop resistance to the drug, which will complicate treatment in the future. If there is no improvement in the administration of Flemoxin in the first 3 to 4 days, it is necessary to replace it with another antibiotic.
Flemoxin saluteb is contraindicated in infectious mononucleosis, leukemia, intolerance of some components of the drug.
The use of the drug rarely provokes side effects (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, allergies).
Augmentin
Augmentin (amoxicillin-clavulanate) is an effective antibacterial. The drug is usually used to treat angina in childhood. In the preparation there are just two active substances - amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, which favorably distinguishes it among others.
Amoxicillin is a semisynthetic antibiotic of the penicillin group, with a wide spectrum of action against a large number of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Clavulanic acid has a similar penicillin structure, it effectively eliminates beta-lactamase enzymes produced by pathogenic bacteria to develop resistance to antibiotics. It is due to this acid that amoxicillin does not decay under the action of enzymes, which expands its effect on a larger number of bacteria that are resistant to amoxicillin and other penicillin group drugs.
Augmentin has all the properties of antibiotic, which has a bactericidal effect on many microorganisms, plus it eliminates the effect of beta-lactamases.
The drug is available in the form of tablets, injections, suspensions. Dosage in the treatment of children is determined depending on the age, weight of the child.
Cephalexin
Preparations from this group, such as cephalexin, are convenient because they can be taken regardless of food intake. On the day an adult patient is recommended to take no more than 2 g of the drug. The dose should be divided into several doses (usually 3 to 4). In severe disease, the dosage is increased to 4 g per day. In childhood, the dosage depends on the body weight and is 25-50 mg per kilogram, taking the drug also needs to be divided into several. If the disease occurs in severe form, the dosage is increased to 100 mg.
The recommended dosage should be reduced if the renal excretory function is impaired. The course of cefalexin treatment is from 7 to 14 days, on average, streptococcal infections are treated 10 days.
Local antibiotics for tonsillitis
Angina is a common infectious disease, in which there is a strong local inflammation in the pharynx. The use of topical therapy in the treatment of general disease will be ineffective. Treatment of angina should occur at a general level: rest, copious drink, antibiotics. Local treatment (irrigation of the throat with aerosols, special absorbable tablets, rinses, etc.) should be added to the overall treatment to achieve the maximum result in treatment.
Can I apply bioparox?
Bioparox in the treatment of sore throat can be used only in combination with general treatment. Antibacterial drugs at the initial stage of the disease (before the formation of pus) are the first and main direction in treatment. Usually bioparox is used in the treatment of angina very rarely, since there is no need for additional treatment against the background of general therapy.
Bioparox is used for the complex treatment of chronic tonsillitis (inflammation of the tonsils). The drug is used no more than 10 days. As with the appointment of other antibiotics, it is necessary to identify the susceptibility of the causative agents of the disease. Without such an analysis, treatment of infections with inflammatory processes can lead to severe consequences: complete destruction of beneficial microflora in the pharynx, which inhibited the multiplication of pathogenic bacteria, after that microorganisms begin to multiply with more force, which will lead to severe inflammation.
[22]
How correctly to use bioparox for the treatment of chronic tonsillitis?
Bioparox can not be used uncontrolled. To recommend a preparation for treatment the expert can do only. Bioparox well helps in the complex treatment of chronic tonsillitis (inflammation of the tonsils).
It is usually prescribed for one session by an adult every four hours, in childhood - every six hours. Under the procedure is meant oral inhalation, for which a special nozzle is needed, which is put on the vial, is located in the oral cavity closer to the inflamed tonsils. After that, do two strokes to irrigate one amygdala, then two presses for the other. After use, the nozzle should be rinsed in running water.
Antibiotics for angina in children
Antibiotics for angina in children should be prescribed depending on the cause of the disease: a virus or a bacterium streptococcus. As a rule, at a visual inspection, there is no difference, the streptococcus bacteria can be detected only by a special test (bacteriological culture).
In some cases, antibiotic treatment can be used in small patients, but not always a positive effect with such treatment. First of all, antibiotics destroying the virus have a disastrous effect on the unformed immune system of the baby. With angina caused by a viral infection, the body is able to cope on its own, it is only necessary to provide the child complete peace, abundant drink, a full vitamin nutrition. With streptococcal angina, you will most likely need to drink a course of antibiotics, which are necessary to prevent the development of more serious complications.
More details about the use of antibiotics in children read here.
Treatment of tonsillitis in adults
Many people are skeptical about antibiotics, believing that the harm to the body from them far exceeds the benefits. In this there is some sense, because antibiotics destroy not only pathogenic microorganisms, they also destroy the microflora useful for our body - as a result, dysbacteriosis develops. Also, the use of antibiotics can trigger severe allergic reactions.
But, unfortunately, some diseases can not be cured without the use of antibiotic drugs. Antibiotics for angina, especially if there were pustules on the tonsils, rose extremely high temperature, the general weakness began against the background of intoxication of the body, simply unavoidable. But taking antibiotics is necessary correctly to reduce the possible side effect. The usual course of antibiotic therapy is about 7 days. But many people stop taking the drug immediately after the disappearance of severe symptoms in order to reduce the negative effect on the body from taking antibiotics. Such a decision is fundamentally wrong and can cause serious complications. Even after the signs of the disease disappeared (sore throat, weakness, temperature), the infection continues to "sit" in the body. If the antibiotic is stopped taking, it may be a re-development of the disease, which will require more serious treatment since microorganisms have already developed resistance to a certain type of antibiotic. Angina is often complicated by heart disease and rheumatism, because bacteria spread not only in the main source of inflammation - the throat, but throughout the body and penetrate into all organs.
When taking antibiotics you need to adhere to a certain schedule, otherwise it threatens the development of a strong inflammatory process. In this case, the use of drugs will be required, the negative effect on the body of which will be much stronger.
To reduce the negative effects of taking antibiotics, you need to take from the first days of treatment, special preparations to restore the intestinal microflora, as well as the liver.
Duration and schedule of treatment for various forms of tonsillitis
The course of treatment with antibiotic drugs depends on the drug, the stage of the disease, the severity of the process, the state of human immunity, and the like. The average course of admission is 10 days.
With mild and moderate form of angina, antibiotics are recommended to take 5-7 days. In more severe cases, it is recommended to continue treatment until 10-14 days.
Treatment with antibiotics can not be stopped after the condition has improved, the temperature has decreased, the pain in the throat has disappeared. It is extremely important to undergo a full course of antibiotic treatment so that the infection in the body is completely destroyed.
This is necessary, first of all, to prevent recurrence of the disease. With untreated angina, there is a risk of a re-inflammatory process in the body, but the pathogenic bacteria in this case will already develop resistance to a certain group of antibiotics, and a drug change and a second course of treatment will be required. Also, angina may be complicated by rather severe heart diseases, rheumatism.
In any case, take the medicine as much as the doctor prescribed. You can not change the dosage independently, as well as the duration of treatment.
Purulent sore throat
Angina can appear at any age, usually one amygdala is affected more than the other. If the sore throat is not treated, it can go into a purulent form and aggravate with severe complications on the heart.
With purulent sore throat, there are severe pains in the throat, which eventually increase, swallowing is difficult, the temperature rises (sometimes to very high marks). Tonsils become bright red, with whitish purulent foci. Swollen lymph nodes also swell.
The complex treatment includes the administration of antibiotics for angina, which has acquired a purulent form. Appointed drugs from the group of penicillins, cephalosporins.
The most effective for the causative agents of angina (group A streptococci) are penicillin preparations, which must be taken 10 days. With purulent angina, other penicillin preparations may be used, such as augmentin, azithromycin, ampicillin.
Synthetic derivatives of penicillin is the drug amoxicillin. It does not destroy bacteria, but stops their growth, destroying the cell walls.
Antibiotics of the cephalosporin group are similar in chemical composition to penicillin preparations. Antibiotic cephalexin prevents the formation of the cell wall, which is necessary for the survival of bacteria, which ultimately leads to their death.
Erythromycin and tetracycline are used in case of allergic reactions to penicillin and its derivatives. Erythromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against a variety of bacteria. By antibacterial activity it resembles penicillin, therefore it is a good alternative for people with penicillin intolerance.
Tetracycline destroys protein synthesis, which prevents the reproduction of bacteria. This drug is used with penicillin intolerance for the treatment of most bacterial infections.
A full article on the names and methods of using antibiotics for purulent sore throat is available here.
Follicular sore throat
Follicular tonsillitis affects the almond follicles, outwardly one can see their strong increase, puffiness. Purulent follicles are looked through, which can have white or dirty-yellow color (depends on the duration of the disease). The size of pustules is small - about 1 - 2 mm. After piercing pustules on the tonsils appears whitish plaque.
The causative agent of the disease is most often streptococcal or pneumococcal infection. The disease develops in the case of a decrease in the body's defenses, hypothermia, infection in the oral cavity. Follicular sore throat can become ill for both adults and children, but in childhood it arises most often and has some peculiarities. In general, the disease develops during the season of colds - autumn-winter.
When treating follicular tonsillitis, you need not only to destroy the infection in the body, but also to remove intoxication. At the first signs of the disease, you must observe bed rest and drink more fluids. In order not to irritate the sore throat, it is necessary to eat mainly liquid food, in small portions.
The modern pharmaceutical industry offers a wide range of drugs for the treatment of infectious diseases, both in adults and in young children.
The most common drugs for the treatment of angina are Erythromycin, Flemoxinum, Sumamed, Ampicillin, etc. The course of antibiotic treatment is approximately 10 days. You can also use local drugs to relieve the pain in the throat: orasept, pharyngo-sprays, etc. If there were skin rashes (allergies), you can take antihistamines (suprastin, diazolin, loratidine, etc.). Also, do not forget about protecting your intestines from the harmful effects of antibiotics. As a rule, to normalize the microflora, it is recommended to take Lineks.
Lacunar angina
Lacunar tonsillitis is a widespread disease today. Mostly the disease affects the upper respiratory tract, but if the tonsils are not affected, then the process of inflammation is directly in the throat. If tonsils are not (surgically removed) or are damaged, lacunar tonsillitis for a short time gives a serious complication - pneumonia.
Reception of drugs with a wide range of effects must begin with the appearance of the first signs of the disease. If you plant a susceptibility of pathogenic microflora to antibiotics, the treatment process will be much more effective. The human body for a week can overcome the main symptoms of the disease, but the infection will remain inside, and each time with favorable external factors (reduced immunity, hypothermia, etc.) will provoke angina. As a result, frequent illnesses will lead to serious complications - rheumatism, disability. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose an effective course of treatment, which in the future will help to eliminate possible health problems.
At the beginning of the disease, it is recommended to take antibiotics with a wide range of cephalosporins, sulfonamides. For example, at the first signs of the disease it is good to take a sumamed tablet a day or one tablet of ciprolet twice a day. It is also necessary to take antihistamines (suprastin, diazolin, pipolfen) to relieve swelling of the tonsils and facilitate swallowing.
To strengthen immunity, vitamin C is prescribed up to 1 g per day. A good remedy for angina is ascorutin, which contains rutin and ascorbic acid. This drug not only increases the resistance to infections of the body, but also strengthens the vascular walls, which will prevent the DIC syndrome.
Herpetic tonsillitis
Herpetic angina is an extremely contagious acute viral disease that causes microorganisms of the enterovirus family, Coxsackie. At the onset of the disease, high fever (up to 40 degrees) rises, soreness of the throat, joint aches, headaches. Sometimes there is vomiting and diarrhea. On the soft palate, tonsils, back of the pharynx, small bubbles appear, which after a few days are opened and recovery begins.
Antibiotics for angina of this form are ineffective. The treatment is mainly aimed at the removal of the symptoms of the disease. Usually, rinsing of the throat, antipyretics, rest and copious drinking are prescribed.
Catarrhal angina
Catarrhal angina occurs usually with a weakening of the body's defenses (lack of vitamins, hypothermia, etc.). Most often the disease develops at the end of winter, early spring. Also, catarrhal angina is provoked by microorganisms living on the pharyngeal mucosa and upper respiratory tract. If the diagnosis is correct and effective treatment is started, severe manifestations of the disease usually disappear after a few days. Treatment is usually prescribed at home (hospitalized only in very difficult conditions).
Antibiotics for angina are prescribed a wide spectrum of action - bactrim, augmentin, erythromycin, streptocid. For effective treatment, these drugs should be taken for at least 7 days, otherwise the infection remains in the body in a "dormant" state and can give serious complications. For the treatment of angina, local therapy can be used to relieve sore throats - rinses, irrigation with special aerosols, absorbable tablets, etc. In lymph nodes, catarrhal can inflame lymph nodes, usually no treatment is required, so when the infection in the body is eliminated, the lymph nodes themselves return to normal .
[34],
Viral tonsillitis
Antibiotics for angina caused by viruses are ineffective. Transmission of the virus occurs by airborne droplets - by sneezing, coughing, through personal items - phone, scarf, dishes, toys, etc. Treatment of angina in this case is to reduce the symptoms of the disease - temperature, sore throat, weakness. Usually prescribed antipyretic, fortifying drugs. To reduce puffiness and pain in the throat, rinses are well rinsed with herbal decoctions (chamomile, sage, eucalyptus), special absorbable tablets (pharyngocept, neoangin, etc.).
Sore throat without fever
Typical symptoms of angina are considered to be sore throat and high fever (up to 40 degrees). But there are cases when the sore throat does not increase the body temperature. Usually this happens with catarrhal sinus, when only the surface of the tonsils is affected, there is no purulent coating.
But the absence of temperature does not mean that measures should not be taken to fight the disease. It is necessary, as with other forms of angina to comply with bed rest, gargle to facilitate swallowing (well suited solution of salt and baking soda, broths of herbs). An abundant drink is recommended to prevent dehydration of the body and remove the product of the decay of the life of bacteria.
Antibiotics for angina, even if there is no temperature, are prescribed a broad spectrum of action, mainly penicillin group (amoxicillin, ampicillin).
Streptococcal angina
Streptococcal angina occurs mainly in childhood. Streptococcal infection does not affect the palatine tonsils, but when the disease appears high fever, weakness, an increase in lymph nodes. The causative agent of the disease, as the name suggests, are streptococcal bacteria. The disease can be transmitted from the carrier of the infection (which may even not be suspected) or from the sick person by airborne droplets. From the moment of infection to the manifestation of symptoms usually takes several days, the disease proceeds in a mild form and resembles ARD.
Active antibacterial agents are prescribed for streptococci: cephalexin, amoxicillin, cefuroxime, cefprozil and the like. When allergic reactions are prescribed erythromycin. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the duration of treatment, you can not interrupt treatment yourself, even after all the symptoms have disappeared.
The purpose of antibiotics is to reduce possible complications of angina.
Use during pregnancy
Angina during pregnancy can cause significant harm to the health of the baby's future. Therefore, infectious inflammation of the throat needs to be treated correctly. Any misdiagnosed medication (including an antibiotic) can disrupt the development of the baby in the womb. It is especially not recommended to use various medications in the first three months of pregnancy, as this period is the formation of vital organs, and any substance can disrupt the proper development.
The attending physician should take into account the position of the woman and prescribe medications, considering the duration of pregnancy and the severity of the disease. Properly selected medication reduces the risk of possible complications, both for the mother and the child, but the lack of appropriate treatment can aggravate the disease and inflict more harm on the child than taking the medication.
During pregnancy, antibiotics of the penicillin series (amoxiclav, amoxicillin, oxamp, etc.) are allowed. Preparations of this group have no harmful effect on the development of the baby and do not hamper the development process. Penicillins are used in diseases caused by microorganisms that are sensitive to the preparation. Can be used both in tablets and as injections.
Antibiotics of the cephalosporin group (ceftriaxone, cefazolin, etc.) have a penetrating ability through the placenta, although they do not harm the child's development. Such drugs are prescribed with the resistance of pathogenic bacteria to penicillin.
Belong to one group of tablets are rovamycin, erythromycin, and vilprafen. These drugs are classified as permissible for use during pregnancy, they do not adversely affect the development of the child.
Zitrolil, sumamed, zi-factor - the same active ingredient is based, these drugs should be used only in case of emergency, when other drugs were powerless.
Breast-feeding
The high temperature of the mother, which often appears with angina, is not an excuse to stop breastfeeding. Milk production occurs in an amazing way, despite a number of problems with the health of the mother at this moment. With a cold, you can safely continue feeding, the only thing you can wear a special bandage at this time, in order to reduce the spread of the infection around.
If the disease of the throat is caused by a viral infection, then there is no need to take an antibiotic, since in this case the body will cope on its own. For the treatment of nursing mothers, only drugs that have minimal harm to the health of the child who is breastfed are used. The modern pharmaceutical market has a large number of such drugs. Usually in such cases, penicillin antibiotics, macrolides, cephalosporins (depending on the severity of the course of the disease and the susceptibility of the body) are prescribed.
Breastfeeding mother can use alternative medicine, such as rinsing the throat with chamomile broth, a solution of soda, salt and a drop of iodine, sage. It helps with sore throat tea with lemon, milk with honey, various herbal teas.
The best antibiotic for angina
Each antibiotic preparation has its own spectrum of action, i.e. The number of microorganisms that he can destroy. As a rule, angina is provoked by group A streptococci, in this connection, when choosing an antibiotic, one should be guided by those that destroy staphylococci and streptococci.
Modern medicine distinguishes several drugs that successfully cope with streptococcal infection (amoxiclav, augmentin, sumamed, amoxicillin, spiramycin, ceftriaxone, etc.).
In the first line in the treatment of angina are penicillin group drugs (amoxicillin, augmentin, etc.), so this series of antibiotic drugs is most effective against staphylococcal and streptococcal infections. In the event that penicillin preparations have an allergic reaction, antibiotics from a number of macrolides (Erythromycin, Azithromycin, etc.) are prescribed.
Modern doctors are the most effective drugs for the treatment of tonsillitis is considered macrolides, in particular, josamycin, azithromycin. In the treatment of severe conditions with purulent angina, antibiotics from the cephalosporin series (ceftriaxone, cefabol, etc.) and fluoroquinols (Ofloxacin, Ciprolet, etc.) show good efficacy. But these drugs are used only if penicillins and macrolides are ineffective. Treatment of angina can not begin immediately with fluoroquinolones or cephalosporins, such strong antibiotics develop addiction to them, further treatment of severe forms of angina will be difficult.
For positive results in the treatment of angina, it is necessary to first identify the causative agent of the disease. In the case of staphylococcal or streptococcal infection penicillins and macrolides act most effectively, but with the action of other microorganisms, these drugs are powerless. To determine the causative agent of the disease, it is necessary to make a bacteriological culture. The study also determines the susceptibility of the microorganism to the antibiotic. It turns out that the most suitable antibiotic for angina will be one on which the causative agent of the disease will be the maximum susceptibility.
